Dragon Pattern Roll Set

At noon, Zhan Zhao took his fourth son and Liangzi out together.

What is Zhan Zhao doing?It's not to patrol the streets, but to look for Bai Yutang in the White Mansion.

It is said that after Zhan Zhao stayed with Duoduo for a while, he realized that it was time for lunch. He wanted to find a place to eat at the newly built Taibai Residence, but found that no one was there.

Master Bao and the Grand Master went to Dali Temple. The previous case still had some follow-up to be dealt with, and Gongsun accompanied them.

Zhao Pu and the others have all gone home, Yin Hou and a large group of them were taken by Blue Fox to play with the Blue Fox Gang, and Tianzun also went, taking Xiaowu and Yaoyao away.

Bao Yan and Pang Yu ran back to Taixue after a hasty meal, and continued to help Old Master Lin Xiao sort out the list of freshmen.

After searching around the front and back of Zhanzhao Courtyard, they found Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi lying beside the table.

Xiao Liangzi held a pen in his hand and was studying something with Xiao Sizi.

Zhan Zhao leaned over and asked, "What are you two doing?"

"Xiao Liangzi is writing letters to his parents." The fourth son raised his head and said to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao looked at it, stretched out his hand to pinch Xiao Liangzi's nose, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Xiao Liangzi, your word is only a little bit better than a dog's."

Xiao Liangzi looked ashamed and indignant, looking at the letter paper, she seemed a little disgusted.

The fourth son also folded his arms and shook his head, "Little Liangzi writes too hard!"

Zhan Zhao teased Xiao Liang, "You wrote it. If you send it back, your parents should say that we don't teach you well."

Xiao Liang pouted, "I hate practicing calligraphy the most."

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Mr. Gongsun and Bao Yan are both so good at calligraphy, you should learn from them."

Xiao Liangzi turned her face away.

The fourth son picked Zhan Zhao's ear and whispered, "I learned it, but I can't learn it."

"There are actually tricks to writing." Zhan Zhao took the letter paper and said to the dejected Xiao Liangzi, "Let's go, let's eat first."

Xiaoliangzi and Xiaosizi both looked at Zhan Zhao with contempt, what does that mean—why do you eat first and then settle everything?

Looking up at the sky, Zhan Zhao patted the two of them on the head, "I'll take you to Taixue after dinner."

"What are you going to Taixue for?" Xiao Liang was puzzled.

The fourth son raised his hand, "Just now, Xiao Mantou said that the newly created Taixue is very beautiful, I want to see it!"

Zhan Zhao pulled the two of them out, "Bao Yan and the others are sorting out the list, and Wang Qi is in charge of copying."

The fourth son nodded, "Qiqi's handwriting is beautiful!"

"Wang Qi is the one with the best calligraphy among so many people in Taixue." Zhan Zhao told the two of them as he wobbled outside, "However, I have heard people say that Wang Qi's handwriting was ugly when she was young. How many great talents have come out of the prime minister's family? Isn't it a joke that this talented person can't write well? So Wang Qi thought of a way for some reason, and finally developed a good handwriting."

"What way!" Xiao Liangzi hurriedly asked.

"Then you have to ask Wang Qi. I'll take you to Taixue after dinner. You can ask him yourself." Zhan Zhao smiled.

Xiaosi and Xiaoliangzi were both happy, but they looked at the road and grabbed Zhan Zhao together.

"Maomao, are you going in the wrong direction?" The fourth son pointed in the opposite direction, "Taibai lives over there!"

"Cough cough." Zhan Zhao coughed, pretending to have just discovered it, "Oh! I went wrong, so I happened to be on the way. Go call Yutang and have dinner together."

The fourth son and Xiao Liang squinted at Zhan Zhao—you can just go to Bai Yutang for dinner, why not be so awkward...

Zhan Zhao brought the two children to the gate of the White Mansion, and saw a lot of things in front of the mansion, as if they were moving.

Just as Bai Fu ran out the door, he saw Zhan Zhao, "Master Zhan, come and find Fifth Master."

Zhan Zhao smiled and shook his head, "I just passed by."

Xiaoliangzi and Xiaosizi are helpless—I really can’t confess!

"What are you doing?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled seeing the mess in front of the door.

Bai Fu sighed, "Oh, don't mention it, just sweep the dust!"

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "What kind of dust are you sweeping without festivals?"

The fourth son and Xiao Liang also looked at each other, muttering, the cleanest of these mansions is the White Mansion, is this still sweeping the dust?

Bai Fu looked helpless, and said to Zhan Zhao, "Master Wu just went to the warehouse to collect silver, and I don't know if the warehouse has been useless for a long time. Master Wu reached out and grabbed a handful of silver, who knew he caught a piece of silver that was as thick as a thumb?" Soft worms, with green heads and hair on their bodies..."

Zhan Zhao and the two children gasped—then Bai Yutang isn't crazy? !

Sure enough, Bai Fu spread his hands, "Fifth Master is going to set fire to the warehouse... We stopped him for a long time before stopping, and I am washing my hands right now. I have to take someone to sweep the dust, otherwise I will catch another bug or something. Grandpa set fire to the house."

Zhan Zhao also couldn't laugh or cry.

The fourth son crossed his arms and said to Xiao Liangzi, "Daddy said that day, it's a disease for nothing! I'm afraid of getting dirty and becoming like this."

Xiao Liangzi was curious, "Isn't he the best swordsman in the world? Then if you throw stinky tofu at him during the fight, will it be easy to win?"

The fourth son thought for a while, "You can try it."

Zhan Zhao raised his forehead, Bai Yutang would have to go crazy if they really did this, so he asked Bai Fu, "Where are the others?"

"I'm washing my hands by the well. Mr. Zhan, why don't you take the young master out for a stroll, and let him come back to count the silver after I finish cleaning up." Bai Fu asked Zhan Zhao to help.

Zhan Zhao was naturally willing, ran into the yard, and dragged Bai Yutang who was wiping his hands out the door.

At the moment, Fifth Master's mind is full of that fat bug just now, and he feels goosebumps all over his body, and his whole body is not very good.

The fourth son gave him jelly beans made of mint leaves to scare him, and wanted to tell him—in fact, fat bugs are also very cute, and it is for nothing that they don't know how to appreciate them.

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, Duoduo was about to give birth, what name should the pony take.

Bai Yutang managed to be distracted by Zhan Zhao, and the two children also jumped up and down to help Xiao Maju think of a name.

Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao as he walked, "Is my master still in Kaifeng Mansion?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head, "I went to the Blue Fox Gang with my grandfather, and Aunt Lan seems to have started a gamble, saying that she will push Pai Gow."

Bai Yutang blinked and nodded, "That's good."

Zhan Zhao laughed, "Aren't you afraid that Aunt Lan, Aunt Hong and the others will join forces to plot against Tianzun? They are amazing! Add to this the great aunt, Tianzun must not lose all your property."

Bai Yutang muttered, "It's best to export everything in the warehouse! Then there's no need to order."

Zhan Zhao suddenly pointed at his neck and said, "Yutang, you have a worm on your neck..."

Sure enough, Bai Yutang's expression changed, and Zhan Zhao stomped his feet with a smile as he put his arms around the fourth son—the expression on his face was so funny!

Bai Yutang reached out and touched his neck, really wanting to kick Zhan Zhao's ass.

The four of them came to the gate of Taibai Residence. At noon, Taibai Residence was naturally lively.

The little six saw the four of them at a glance, and immediately ran out, "Lord Zhan, fifth master!"

When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang entered, they both looked at the newly built Taibai Residence.

Zhan Zhao took a look, it could be considered a blessing in disguise, the size of Taibai Residence was at least twice as large as before, and the repairs were impressive enough, and it seemed that there were more manpower. I don't know if a new cook was hired.

As usual, Little Six reserved a private room for Bai Yutang, and went upstairs to welcome everyone.

The fourth son and Xiao Liang went upstairs hand in hand, greeting and calling the diners all the way, the fourth son was almost more popular than Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao sighed with emotion - the younger generation is awesome!

Everyone went upstairs and took their seats. The fourth son and Liangzi looked at the new menu and ordered, while Zhan Zhao asked the sixth son, "How is Kaifeng recently? Is there anything new?"

Little Six was cheerful, "There is nothing new recently, but there are a lot of people! Business is also good!"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Is he a new student at Taixue?"

Little Six laughed, "Not only Taixue, but also new students from other academies have come to Kaifeng for a while, so naturally there is no reason not to come to Taibaiju for dinner, right?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, the fourth son was already ordering food.

Bai Yutang also recovered, and sat by the window, watching the people coming and going on the street. Indeed, there were many young people, most of whom were dressed as scholars.

In addition to Taixue, there are several very good academies in Kaifeng City, which have produced many talented people. Among them, three have a history of more than [-] years. Together with Taixue, they are called the Fourth Academy. Basically, all the talented people in the world gather in these four academies. Academy.These days, some talented people are going to Kaifeng. In the imperial city, if you drop a plaque, you may hit a bole. When you arrive in Kaifeng, you have much more chances of becoming an official.This is understandable, after all, scholars like Gongsun are a minority, and most of them study hard for fame and fortune.

Little Six chatted with Zhan Zhao for a while, and Little Fourth ordered the dishes, and started to serve them.

Taibaiju's cook is still so good, Zhan Zhao added vegetables to Bai Yutang's bowl while eating, telling him to eat more to refresh himself, so that he can continue to fight against Yinzi when he goes back.

Bai Yutang also couldn't laugh or cry, Zhan Zhao became more energetic after returning to Kaifeng Mansion.

While eating, someone knocked on the door of the private room, and Zhan Zhao heard the little six outside saying, "Master Kong, there are Mr. Zhan and Fifth Master Bai."

"Really?" came a thick male voice, "then go to another room."

Zhan Zhao grumbled at Xiao Liangzi.

Xiao Liangzi ran to open the door and looked outside.

At the door, a tall middle-aged man was about to leave, when he heard the door opening, he turned his head.

The man was burly and somewhat heroic, wearing a black official robe with an official sword.

"Uncle Kong." Xiao Liangzi obviously knew this person, and greeted him.

"Little prince." Seeing that Zhan Zhao was also greeting him in the room, the big man ordered his subordinates to continue the investigation, walked in by himself, and greeted Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang knew him, and he was Kong Fuxiu, the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.The specific official position is a bit of a mouthful, Zhan Zhao has never been clear about the official position, he only knows that he should be a third-rank official.Kong Fuxiu was mainly in charge of the prison affairs of Kaifeng City, and he was in charge of the prisons of the two government offices and three divisions, so Zhan Zhao often dealt with him.

Kong Fuxiu is a heroic and upright man, and also has high martial arts skills. He is a disciple of an eminent monk in Shaolin.

Seeing that Kong Fuxiu was holding two yellow lists in his hand, Zhan Zhao asked, "Is someone escaped from prison?"

Kong Fuxiu nodded, "Don't mention it, three prisoners escaped."

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Which prison did he escape from? Is it dangerous?"

The fourth son moved around, tugged at Kong Fuxiu's sleeve, motioned him to sit down and said.

Kong Fuxiu sat next to the fourth son, stretched out his hand to pat his head, and said to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Before you came back, it rained heavily in Kaifeng for two days. Some brick walls in the city were old and collapsed a lot. Xishan One of the outer walls of the Yanguan Prison collapsed. Three prisoners didn't know what happened. They didn't go back to their cells that night and hid outside until the wall collapsed. I started to look for it, but I still couldn’t find it. Because of the heavy rain, I couldn’t find it at night... Yesterday I took people to search the mountain, and found a few footprints, probably ran into Kaifeng City and hid.”

As he spoke, Kong Fuxiu opened the yellow list in his hand and showed it to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang looked at the yellow list, and Zhan Zhao asked, "Aren't the people in the smoke hall serious offenders?"

"These three people were not sentenced too harshly. One is a habitual thief, the other is a liar, and the third is a bit more vicious, a bandit. But he has only robbed and never killed anyone." Kong Fuxiu folded his arms, "It's just recently. There are too many people in Kaifeng, and they are all scholars, who go in and out, you have to catch them quickly, otherwise it will be bad if you hurt innocent people."

Zhan Zhao nodded.

Bai Yutang suddenly pointed at one of them and said, "I've seen this person before."

Both Kong Fuxiu and Zhan Zhao leaned over to have a look, and they saw Bai Yutang pointing at that vicious bandit in his 40s with a beard and his name was Qiu Jian.

"When did Master Wu meet?" Kong Fuxiu asked quickly.

"Just now." Bai Yutang thought for a while, "It should be him. When we entered Taibai Residence just now, he walked out of the alley next to Taibai Residence. He happened to meet me face to face. He felt a little sneaky, so I have some impressions .”

"That can't be wrong!" Kong Fuxiu was happy, "Just now someone reported to the official that he was near Taibai Residence, so I came here to look for it. Which direction did he go?"

Bai Yutang walked to the window and showed Kong Fuxiu the way, "Over there, the road to take."

Kong Fuxiu thanked him, and went looking for him with someone.

Zhan Zhao shook his head, thinking that the thief was also unlucky, and had a face-to-face meeting with the white mouse who had never forgotten.

Kong Fuxiu left, but the yellow list was still on the table. On the yellow list, the crimes committed by several people and their sentences were written in detail.

Xiaoliangzi and Xiaosizi took the research curiously.

After reading it, Xiao Liangzi couldn't help but said, "This bandit's sentence will be up next month. Why can't he escape from prison after a month? Can't he come out next month?"

Zhan Zhao took the yellow list to read, sure enough, Qiu Jian would be released next month.

"The other two don't have very long sentences, and they will definitely be released within half a year if they don't escape from prison." Bai Yutang also felt strange, "It's not worthwhile to add one class to the crime of escape."

Zhan Zhao also nodded, "Most of the people in the smokehouse are petty thieves, so it's not worth it... To take such a big risk and escape, just to get ten days and a half months earlier."

Bai Yutang picked up a chopstick dish for Zhan Zhao, that means—whatever he is, the man left for a short time, and with Kong Fuxiu's ability, he should be able to find him soon, so he can wait for another half a year when he goes back.

Zhan Zhao took Huang Bang away, anyway, it didn't affect his appetite, so he continued to eat.

……

Let's not talk about Zhan Zhao and others having a good time in Taibaiju, but let's talk about Taixue at this moment.

In Taixue, Mrs. Lin Xiao was standing in the yard, looking through the directory that Wang Qi had copied.

Bao Yan and Pang Yu also finished work here, drinking tea and eating oranges.

Wang Qi just finished copying the book and went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with the people in the mansion. It seems that his grandfather wanted to treat guests, so he went home to greet the guests.

In the yard, apart from Bao Yan, Pang Yu and old man Lin, there were also Zhao Lan, Ge Qing, and Ouyang Chunhua who was lying on the table rubbing his buttocks and chatting with Pang Yu and Bao Yan.

Chunhua talked a lot and urged Zhao Lan to visit the haunted house. Unexpectedly, Zhao Lan took it seriously and let Zhao Zhen know about it. So Chunhua suffered an unreasonable disaster and was beaten up by his uncle. It still hurts now.

Zhao Lan couldn't stay in the palace anymore, so she went to the imperial dining room to get some delicious food, saying that Taixue was here to help Bao Yan and the others.

Zhao Zhen understood that she didn't dare to think about the haunted house anymore, so he asked Ge Qing to accompany her.Ge Qing has been used to it for a long time, anyway, he has been following this unruly princess all the time, Ge Qing is also in a good mood today, who knows that the emperor will hold a banquet tonight, and then he will be able to meet Tianzun...Learn from Zhao Lan, maybe Can see you sooner.

When I arrived at Taixue, I saw Ouyang was there, pouted and told Bao Yan and Pang Yu how unlucky he was, and he was beaten for no reason.

Mrs. Lin Xiao sighed when he heard the little ones talking about the Jin family's old house.

Zhao Lan took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and asked the old master, "Master Lin, was the young master of the Jin family really very educated before?"

Lin Xiao nodded, "Well, his name is Jin Shan, he is a good-looking talent with good grades, it's a pity."

Ouyang was curious, "Did he really hang himself?"

Mrs. Lin was helpless, "It should be. Anyway, that's what the family said. Don't go to that house. The whole family died within one month. It's very strange."

"So evil?" Bao Yan was puzzled, "Could someone harm them? Why didn't you find out?"

"It was indeed investigated at that time, but the few policemen who were in charge of investigating this case and entered the house all died strangely." After checking all the files in his hand, Mrs. Lin sealed them up, and prepared to submit them to the emperor for review tomorrow.

Bao Yan asked, "Are the files of the case back then in Longtu Pavilion?"

While talking, he heard chaotic voices from outside.

Everyone looked at each other, Master Lin was also curious, "What's wrong?"

Ge Qing went to have a look, and saw a lot of officials outside the Taixue Gate, the leader was Kong Fuxiu from the Ministry of Punishment.

"Master Kong." Ge Qing asked Kong Fuxiu, "What's wrong?"

"Ge Qing?" Kong Fuxiu was taken aback and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'll accompany the princess to do something." Ge Qing frowned when he saw Kong Fuxiu holding the yellow list.

Kong Fuxiu hurriedly asked, "Is the princess here? Take the princess and leave quickly, there are escaped prisoners nearby..."

It's just that before Kong Fuxiu finished speaking, he heard a scream from inside.

As soon as Ge Qing heard the voice was Zhao Lan, he turned around and rushed back, and Kong Fuxiu also chased after him.

When we arrived in the yard, we saw the books and files scattered all over the floor. Mr. Lin fell to the ground and shouted, "Come here!"

"Master!" Kong Fuxiu went to help him, and when Ge Qing saw that Zhao Lan and the others were not in the courtyard, he hurriedly asked, "Where is he?"

Pointing to the back, Master Lin said, "Just now three people came in from the courtyard wall, kidnapped the princess and ran away, Bao Yan and the others chased after them, hurry up!"

Ge Qing disappeared in a flash, and Kong Fuxiu also chased after him.

Ge Qing broke out in a cold sweat at this time. He didn't know what kind of murderer this escaped prisoner was. He was responsible for protecting the princess, but a careless person was taken away.If there is something, at least you can wipe your neck along with it!In addition, Bao Yan, Pang Yu, and Ouyang Chunhua, two of these three are useless and half-baked, chasing after him is of no use, so don't be slaughtered.

Ge Qing and the others chased out the back door of Taixue, and in the distance...there was a sudden "pop" in the sky, and a loud arrow for communication flew into the sky.

Ge Qing quickly chased in that direction.

At the same time, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had eaten their fill, and brought their fourth son and Liangzi out of Taibai Residence, and they were about to go to Taixue.

Just a few steps away, a ringing arrow used for communication in the distance went up to the sky.

Zhan Zhao frowned, "This is..."

"Is it the little steamed bun?" The fourth son shook his face, and he recognized that it was the loud arrow that the people of Kaifeng Mansion had been using all the time.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, each lifted one up to the roof, and quickly ran towards the direction of the arrow going up to the sky.
